What is it like? You who lecture me, Tell me what it's like.
Tell me again that I don't know love, Tell me that someday I'll have it. Tell me it shouldn't hurt this much, Tell me I'm overreacting. Tell me that I shouldn't be this sad Over something I've never had. Tell me I can't be lonely, Tell me I have friends and family.
Tell me it all like you know the thoughts in my head, But not once have I ever said, "I know love." No, I know worse. I know what it's like to fall in love, Over, And over, Yet never once have the chance to keep it.
This is a poem about those that have spent life falling in love without having it reciprocated, while watching morons around them abuse what love they've managed to find.
